The Hustler office received a telephone mes sage from the Oakely Florida Home today stating that the place now entertained 87 board ers. What about this for summer visitors?

Young and Mr. A- G. Thompson, both of this city, were married yesterday evening at the Methodist parsonage, the Rev. J. W. Moore officiating. J The wedding was a quiet affair only a few immediate friends witnessing it. The bride is one of the popular and much loved ladies of the city. The groom is a well known ener getic business man of this city. Though they haven't taken their bridal trip yet, it is probable that they wilhgo to the groom's old home at Dallas, N.

Arrange ments are being made for, a fine, musical program to be rendered by the Lodge orchestra before the lecture " ' f Miss Ruth Gottleib, the lecturer originally hails from Kentucky of which state she' is a native. She left Kentucky in 1900 for Porto Rico, while there she did considerable pioneer work as a school teacher starting as an English teacher in a mountain town and for the last four years of her stay she was an instruct or in the Normal Department of the University of Porto Rico Much of her work was done in Spanish and she is at present teaching Spanish in the, West Palm Beach, Fla., High School. Miss Gottleib- spent most of her Vacation traveling over Porto Rico with her kodak and person ally photographed her views. Prominenl photographers and ar tists have pronounced her views equal to the best before the pub lic.

War Congressman William T. Craw ford, who has recently returned from Washington, D. C-, where he went to look after depart mental matters, is now "ready for the fray" and anxious to meet his republican opporfent. The latter has, however, taken himself to the woods, instead of facing the music, ,and Mr. Craw ford will simply "have to run him down" if he gets a "whack" at him at all- Mr. Crawford is much in de mand at democratic gatherings and has started out onv the "war path" in the hope of locating his opponent. He was scheduled to address the 'democratic conven tion McDowell county, at Marion on Tuesday. He expects to at tend the Transylvania convention on next Saturday and meet with the Rutherford democrats Mon day, August 3rd. The congress man is entirely hopeful and fully expects an increased majority in the district this -year. Having been denied the opportunity of meeting his opponent, Mr. Craw ford can devote himself to per sonal work, meeting old friends and shaking hands. He is an adept at this "business" also. Parents Enrage over rs t. Police Reese has returned from Brevard where he went Sunday to return Miss Tilesia Tinsley and George Pool who sloped to this city with the fruitless intention of marrying.

The crowd is here, probably the biggest in the town's history, and there seems to be no sigh of any financial depression amongst' them. Henderson ville is now the lead ing resort town of the mountains. There are three-times -as many people getting off the trairr here as get off at Asheville, the town's only serious competitor. , The JIo tel Gates has a very large num ber of guests. The Wheeler is filling rapidly. All the large board ing houses, many of them pract ically hotels, are full. v The weather has been, and is delightful. The roads are in good condition for driving and aut omobiling and-the livery stables are all busy. In the opinion of these compe tent to judge, the .season will be longer than usual, and it is a fact that the tourists are learning that the late season here is really the most enjoyable, in many respects, of the whole twelve golden months. ; i Come to Chimney Rock on Friday and Saturday, ., August 7th. and '8th. -.There iwill be -a Grand Tournament and Picnic, and Fireworks at night frorrvfcfte top of the famous Chimney.

Hakwins and Son the well known jewelers, for the first correct count received of-the number' of dots in their ring advertisement. The number of dots, as stated in the sealed envelope which has been in the Daily Hustler safe for several weeks, was 1953. Mrs. Kinch. the lucky winner of the handsome ring, handed in her count on June 3d, at 5:30 p. m. Last night, the envelope was opened by the associate editor of this paper, in the presence of City Tax Collector Sam Bryson and other witnesses, and the number was found to be 1 953. The seal qf the envelope was unbroken as it was received from the manufacturers of the ring, and neither Mr. Hawkins nor anyone else had any possible way of finding out the number of dots in the ring, except by counting them. - There were over a1 thousand replies received and many correct guesses were made, bnt Mrs. Kinch was the first. Among the I others were: O. R. Herring, June 5; G. P. Livingston, June 10; Neva Pace, June 11; MaryE. Jordan, June 20; N. Buckner, June 7; Lula Whitaker, June 21; J. S. Allison, June 5; A. W.

The batteries played fine ball. Today the boys go up. agdinst Spartanburg, with Waldrbp in the pitcher box, and it promises ! to be one of the best of a most excellent series of games. Sat urday's Daily.'. 2 to 2, 11 1 One of the best ball games of the season was played here last Saturday between the home team and a strong, picked team from Spartanburg. The game ending at the end of the eleventh inning, the score being 2 to 2 on account of darkness. In the first inning Hogue, of Spartanburg, scored, getting to first on an error of Justus, - stole second and came home on a hit by Garner. Both teams played close ball in the second, third and fourth in ning no runs being made by either side. The Hendersonville team was strengthened in the third by the arrival of Patton, who took Warren's place behind the bat, Warren going to second. There was no more scoring un til the eighth, when Edwards went to first, being hit by pitched ball, cleverly stole second and third and scored a run on a fum bled fall by Routh.

Death of Hail Carrier. Mitchell J. Allen died early this morning at his residence just outside the city limits, after an illness of about two weeks. He was about 50 years old. ' Burial will take place tomor row at"the family burying ground at' Horse Shoe. The time and place of I funeral could not be learned at this writing. Mr. Allen has been carrying the mail on the R. F. D. route for nearly two years - and has proven himself one . of the best and most - efficient mail carriers on the Hendersonville service. He was compelled to give up the service July 25 on account of sickness ( y He was the oldest mail carrier in this county, having formerly been on the service at Horse Shoe, the first route formed in the county. W. C. Jordan, substitute, will carry the mail until further ar rangements is made by the governments The Hotel The annual ball of the Hotel Wheeler, last Friday night, was the most successful of a long series pf similar social functions, extending over a period , of nine years. , ; ; There' were many invited guests .from out-of-town, and when the grand march opened over 70 couples were on the floor. In the german, the ladies were presented with merry widow hats' of monstrous size, while the gentleme'n received chrysanthe mums. These flowers were also used in the green and pink dec orative scheme of the ball room, over 700 magnificent specimens being utilized. - " The ball lasted untila late, or early hour, and was undoubtedly the most successful of. any given by this popular hotel. V Wanted to Many;. taw Prevents! . Miss Tilesia Tinsley, the , 15-year-old daughter of Jef Tinsley of Brevard, and " George Pool a ; young man of 25 years, from 'preen ville, S. C. made a fruitless -4 attempt at an elopement yester day. ' ;' -v ' . i The happy couple arrived here yesterday on the afternoon train. " with the intention of marrying--The would be bride's parents: were not long discovering their intentions, and immediately tele- ' phoned the officers here to take charge, of the couple-, and return them home. t The officers were at the depot for that purpose and did not have , pany trouble m identifying the couple. Chief Reece took the parties home last night. With reluctance the disappoint ed couple returned, but the girl ' declared she Would marry her- lover regardless of all that could- be done. ' , ' Up to His OldTiKs Again. ; J. S. Holbert brought us in two ' magnificent peaches, Saturday, grown on his : farm near town. They were both on one stem, their dainty blushes hidden by a few green leaves, they weighed one pound, two and a half ounces and they certainly, did look good " to us.1' Sure, v' : ' ' "Ed" Brooks, cashier of the Citizens-Bank happened in "the office and .noticed the peaches of course. ' Last Fall, when Mrs Mark Edney sent us a bushel of fine sweet potatoes by Mr. Brooks we got two he got the rest. He ., noticed them, too. The pota- r toes were so large it only took four to make the bushel, but that dosn't make any difference It was the same way with the rest of the fine exhibition pf Hen derson County products whichi attracted so much attention ini the Hustler window last Fall he got the most of it,; some way. So it was Saturday. Mr. Hol- berts beauties were alongside that great Alberta peach presented us by Mr. Marshall. Mr. Brooks ex amined them critically.' Admired thm. Made some remarks about the weather 9and when we looked again, the peaches were, gone!' Gone! gone forever! The finest peaches ever shown in this town and Cashier Ed Brooks of the Citizens Bank wears a self-satisfied, complacent smile, like the cat wore after she swallowed the canary. , ' v "The Southern Soldier U Capt.
